Singapore and the United States have started the new year by reaffirming their partnership, with 2026 marking the 60th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the nations.
Prime Minister Lawrence Wong had a telephone call with US President Donald Trump on Friday, the Singapore Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) said.
“PM Wong and President Trump noted that 2026 marks the 60th anniversary of diplomatic ties between Singapore and the United States,” the ministry said in a press statement.
“They reaffirmed the enduring strength of the mutually beneficial partnership that spans multiple domains, and looked forward to deepening cooperation in established areas and expanding into new ones.”
MFA added that Wong thanked Trump for inviting Singapore to the coming Group of 20 (G20) summit, which will be held in Miami, Florida, in December.
“Singapore looks forward to contributing to the US’ G20 agenda, and advancing economic growth for all,” it said.
Wong said in a social media post that Singapore would play a “constructive role” at the summit and contribute to the shared agenda for growth and stability.
